Dissertations / Theses on the topic 'Constitutive defense'

My study was designed to determine how different thermal defense strategies and the intensity of high temperature challenges might affect demographic and physiological performance of limpets on rocky shores. Found together in the high intertidal zone, Lottia scabra employs a constitutive thermal defense strategy, whereas L. austrodigitalis has an inducible one. I measured loss and growth rates of both species as a function of average daily maximum temperature exposure in the field, and respiration rates for field-collected and lab-acclimated individuals under benign conditions in the lab before and after exposure to one of five peak temperatures (14, 24, 28, 32, or 36 °C) during a 4.5-hour simulated low tide. L. scabra was relatively unaffected by exposure to high temperatures, whereas L. austrodigitalis exhibited significant increases in loss rates from experimental plates, decreases in growth rates, and increases in oxygen consumption, consistent with activation of the heat shock response.

The present dissertation is intended to examine, from its beginnings, the concept of Constitution and to demonstrate its double significance, political and legal, as well as the means used to guarantee the prevalence of the Constitution in European and North American traditions. The vicissitudes of the defence of the Constitution in Brazil, the broad outlines of organisation and operation of the Judiciary - which, starting from the establishment of the Republican regime in Brazil, had a duty to analyse legislation by contrasting it with the Constitution, thereby confirming its validity - and the role of the Brazilian Public Prosecution Service as an active defender of the Constitution, are also examined. The dissertation confronts the issue of the judicialisation of politics and hopes to demonstrate that the increase in social, cultural and economical rights, in peripheral countries such as Brazil, compels the legal system to enter into contact with conflicts generated in other social systems (economy, health, education, religion, sport etc), the Public Prosecution Service being an important channel - at the same time as introducing discussions about social, cultural and economical rights - for the preservation of the judicial system code (lawful/unlawful) and its self-generating, or "autopoiético", character to keep the centre of the judicial system free of spurious interference from the other social systems
A presente dissertação destina-se a historiar o conceito de Constituição desde seus primórdios e demonstrar seu duplo significado, político e jurídico, bem como os meios utilizados para garantir a prevalência da Constituição nas tradições européia e norte-americana. As vicissitudes da defesa da Constituição no Brasil, as grandes linhas de organização e atuação do Poder Judiciário que, a partir da instauração do regime republicano no Brasil, teve a missão de analisar a legislação em contraste com a Constituição e verificar sua validade e o papel do Ministério Público brasileiro como defensor ativo da Constituição são também dissecadas. A dissertação enfrenta o tema da judicialização da política e pretende demonstrar que o incremento dos direitos sociais, culturais e econômicos em países periféricos como o Brasil força o sistema jurídico a entrar em contato com conflitos gerados em outros sistemas sociais (economia, saúde, educação, religião, esporte etc), sendo o Ministério Público um importante canal para, ao mesmo tempo em que introduz as discussões sobre direitos sociais, culturais e econômicos, preservar o código do sistema jurídico (lícito/ilícito) e manter o caráter autopoiético desse sistema, mantendo o centro do sistema jurídico livre de interferências espúrias dos demais sistemas sociais

This piece tries to determine whether or not Japan’s movement towards rearmament is indicative of a renewed militaristic sentiment or driven by the necessity of improving its defense in view of mounting threats from its age-old enemy, China. The goal of this work is to create a framework using both international events and domestic responses in which to ascertain whether or not the reformation of Article 9 is, in of itself, a reemergence of pre-war bushido/nationalist sentiment or a response to both outside and inside influences necessitating the need for a “normalized” state. The work focuses on three distinct time periods – early 2000s, latter 2000s, and the 2010s – in which to highlight the initial development, progression, and foreseeable resolution to the Article 9 debate. These stages emphasize several elements persistent in Japan’s quest for a more normalized state, including: the hostile external environment created by the rise of foreign assertiveness, and internal domestic pressures (which to some extent are driven by external pressures) along with its own desire to seek a more normalized position in the international community as well as to gain an enhanced sense of national pride. Additionally a brief synopsis of both the foreign and domestic entities which have contributed to the Japanese reformation movement has been included for better foundational understanding of the question at hand. In general, results suggested that, though there is some merit towards a reemergence of pre-WWII nationalistic sentiment (especially in the case of the Net Uyoku), the reformation of Article 9 is primarily driven in response to growing tensions – both within East Asia as well as world-wide – as well as a need to assert some semblance of nationalistic identity (an area seriously lacking in Japanese society). Results further implicate that, though the process of reforming Article 9 and thereby revising Japan’s anti-war policy may not be immediate, movement within the Japanese state towards constitutional reformation is indeed on the rise – rearmament being the primary target of said reforms.

O presente trabalho objetiva discorrer sobre como a psicanálise considera o processo de constituição do sujeito na neurose, para, a partir de então, examinar o motivo pelo qual Freud empregou o termo escolha nesse processo. A pesquisa inicia-se com a análise das contribuições de Freud e de Lacan acerca dos fatores que causam uma neurose. Para isso, será examinada a relação entre trauma, pulsão e fantasia no processo de estruturação subjetiva e será avaliado de que forma o trauma possibilita culminar nas diferentes classes de neurose. Logo em seguida, o trabalho parte para a pesquisa acerca da entrada do organismo vivo na linguagem e sobre a constituição do sujeito. Será realizado um percurso sobre a subversão da ordem instintual quando se é constituído pelo significante, além de se discorrer sobre as especificidades da estrutura neurótica, como a dinâmica do recalque, a constituição da fantasia, a formação dos sintomas e a relação do sujeito com a linguagem e com o seu desejo. Para isso, considerou-se necessário abordar sobre o decurso das primeiras relações da criança com o outro, sobre a inauguração do psiquismo e o advento do sujeito. A partir disso, estabeleceu-se como problema verificar como é possível haver um mecanismo de escolha de estrutura, isto é, de ação seletiva do sujeito em sua constituição, em um contexto em que o autor aproximou a causa da neurose de fenômenos sobredeterminados, definidos por outras circunstâncias que independem do posicionamento subjetivo. Buscou-se questionar como é possível ao sujeito agenciar um mecanismo eletivo em um contexto no qual o próprio sujeito é efeito dessa eleição. Assim, problematizou-se até que ponto há sobredeterminação e participação subjetiva na constituição de uma neurose.
This study aims to analyse how the psychoanalysis considers the process of constitution of the subject in neurosis, to then examine why Freud used the term choice in this process. The research begins with the analysis of the contributions of Freud and Lacan about the factors that cause a neurosis. For this, will be examined the relation between trauma, drive and fantasy in the process of structuring subjective and will be evaluated how the trauma enables culminate in different classes of neurosis. Shortly afterwards, the work starts to research about the entrance of the living organism in the language and about the constitution of the subject. There will be a path about the subversion of the instinctual order when it is constituted by the significant, in addition to discuss the specifics of the neurotic structures, as the dynamics of repression, the constitution of fantasy, the formation of the symptoms and the subjects relation with the language and with his desire. For this, it was considered necessary discuss about the dynamics of the first childs relationship with the other, about the inauguration of the psyche and about the advent of the subject. From this, it was established as a problem analyze how there can be a mechanism of choice of structure, of a selective action of the subject in your constitution, in a context where the author approached the cause of neurosis with overdetermined phenomena, defined by other circumstances that are independent of the positioning of the subject. We sought to question how it is possible for the subject establish an elective mechanism in a context in which who chooses is effect of this election. Therefore, it was questioned until that point there overdetermination and subjective participation in the constitution of neurosis.

As Myrtaceae nativas do Brasil (goiabeira, guabirobeira, jaboticabeira, etc.) abrigam uma entomofauna indígena, a qual sobrevive nestes hospedeiros sem, aparentemente, apresentar surtos populacionais. No eucalipto, que é também uma Myrtaceae, porém exótica, observa-se um aumento do número de espécies de insetos herbívoros que vêm causando sérios prejuízos à eucaliptocultura nacional. Assim, indaga-se por que um mesmo inseto é praga em uma espécie de planta (eucalipto) e em outra não (goiaba). O crescimento, o desenvolvimento e a reprodução dos insetos dependem da quantidade e qualidade do alimento que utilizam. Sabe-se que plantas possuem compostos químicos, e que quando atacadas por insetos herbívoros, tais compostos são utilizados como defesa da planta, prejudicando a performance da praga e/ou servindo como guia (voláteis) para os inimigos naturais (IN) encontrarem estes insetos herbívoros. Em razão do exposto, este trabalho foi dividido em três etapas que abordaram o potencial de sobrevivência e reprodução do inseto herbívoro Thyrinteina arnobia (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) e a atração do predador Podisus nigrispinus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) em duas espécies de plantas: Eucalyptus cloesiana (eucalipto) e Psidium guajava (goiaba). Na primeira etapa, avaliou- se o desenvolvimento (biologia) deste herbívoro em folhas de goiaba e eucalipto em laboratório através do cálculo da taxa intrínsica de crescimento (rm). O rm encontrado mostrou que o desenvolvimento de T. arnobia foi melhor no hospedeiro eucalipto (0,103) do que no seu hospedeiro de origem (0.067) (goiaba). Possivelmente, plantas de goiaba possuem compostos químicos que agem negativamente sobre populações de herbívoros e, em eucalipto, aparentemente este tipo de defesa foi suplantado por estes herbívoros. A segunda etapa avaliou a preferência de forrageamento de P. nigrispinus às duas espécies de plantas aqui estudadas. Os ensaios foram realizados utilizando-se três plantas (controle) intercaladas com outras três plantas testes formando um hexágono. No centro desse hexágono foi liberado, em cada teste, um total de 100 percevejos. O experimento constou de quatro repetições para os seguintes tratamentos: (a) plantas de goiaba e eucalipto sem injúria; (b) plantas de eucalipto injuriadas por lagartas de T. arnobia, mas sem a permanência das mesmas nas plantas, e plantas sem injúria; (c) plantas de goiaba injuriadas por lagartas de T. arnobia, mas sem a permanência das mesmas nas plantas, e plantas sem injúria; (d) plantas de eucalipto e goiaba injuriadas por lagartas de T. arnobia, mas sem a permanência das mesmas nas plantas; (e) plantas de eucalipto e goiaba injuriadas por lagartas de T. arnobia, com a permanência das mesmas nas plantas. P. nigrispinus preferiu plantas de goiaba injuriadas por lagartas de T. arnobia com a permanência das mesmas nas plantas. Adicionalmente, plantas injuriadas, por lagartas de T. arnobia, sem a permanência das mesmas nas plantas, foram preferidas pelos percevejos, mesmo quando foram comparadas plantas da mesma espécie nos testes. Plantas sem injúria (limpas) também atraíram os percevejos, porém, a porcentagem de recaptura em plantas de goiaba foi maior que em plantas de eucalipto. Os resultados obtidos neste trabalho demonstram que o predador P. nigrispinus além de discriminar entre os odores liberados por espécies de plantas nativas (goiaba) e eucalipto, também discrimina voláteis associados à herbivoria. A terceira etapa avaliou a mortalidade de T. arnobia em campo em plantas de goiaba e eucalipto, e em laboratório, quando se induziu o sistema de defesa da planta. Em campo, a mortalidade foi maior no hospedeiro goiaba (70,77%) do que no hospedeiro eucalipto (22,00%). No teste de laboratório, para a avaliação de defesa induzida, foram utilizadas folhas de plantas de eucalipto limpas (sem terem sofrido nenhum tipo de injúria) e folhas de plantas de eucalipto injuriadas por lagartas de T. arnobia, para verificar se plantas de eucalipto injuriadas ativam seu mecanismo de defesa contra a herbivoria. A mortalidade larval foi de 30,00% em plantas injuriadas contra 10,00% em plantas limpas. Estes resultados demonstram que, quando atacadas por herbívoros, as plantas de eucalipto ativam seu mecanismo de defesa, o que afeta negativamente o desenvolvimento dos herbívoros. De acordo com os resultados apresentados nesse trabalho, é possível concluir que, as plantas de goiaba não são um hospedeiro adequado para o desenvolvimento e estabelecimento de populações de T. arnobia (apesar de ser um de seus hospedeiros nativos), devido à defesas químicas diretas (que agem sobre o herbívoro) ou indiretas (que atraem IN para predarem herbívoros). Por outro lado, T. arnobia vem, aparentemente, se desenvolvendo, adaptando-se e mantendo suas populações em plantios de eucalipto. De uma forma ou de outra, os herbívoros vêm conseguindo quebrar as barreiras de defesa das plantas em eucalipto, ao contrário com plantas de goiaba, onde esses herbívoros têm maior dificuldade em se estabelecer.
Native Myrtaceae of Brazil (guava tree, guabiroba tree, jaboticaba tree, etc.) they shelter an indigenous entomofauny, which survives in these hosts without, seemingly, present in populational outbreak. In the eucalyptus, that is also a Myrtaceae, even so exotic, an increase of the number of species of herbivore insects is observed that come causing serious damages to the national eucalyptus crop. Thus, the question is, why the same insect is a plague in a type of plant (eucalyptus) and not in other (guava). The growth, the development and the reproduction of the insects depend on the amount and quality of the food that is used. It is known that plants have chemical compounds, and that when attacked by herbivore insects, such compounds are used as a defense of the plant, harming the performance of the pest outbreaks and/or serving as guide (volatile) for the natural enemies (IN) they find these herbivore insects. In reason of the exposed, this work was divided in three stages that approached the survival potential and reproduction of the insect herbivore Thyrinteina arnobia (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) and the attraction of the predator Podisus nigrispinus (Heteroptera: Pentatomidae) in two species of plants: Eucalyptus cloesiana (eucalyptus) and Psidium guajava (guava). In the first stage, the development was evaluated (biology) of this herbivore in guava leaves and eucalyptus in laboratory through the calculation of the rate growth intrinsic (rm). The found rm showed that the development of T. arnobia was better in the host eucalyptus (0.103) than in its origin host (0. 067) (guava). Possibly, guava plants possess chemical compounds that act negatively on populations of herbivores and, in eucalyptus, seemingly this kind of defense was supplanted by these herbivores. The second stage evaluated the preference of foraging of P. nigrispinus to the two species of plants studied here. The rehearsals were accomplished using three plants (it controls) inserted with other three test plants forming an hexagon. In the center of that hexagon it was liberated, in each test, a total of 100 true bug. The experiment consisted of four repetitions for the following treatments: (a) guava plants and eucalyptus without offense; (b) eucalyptus plants reviled by caterpillars of T. arnobia, but without the permanence of the same ones in the plants, and plant without offense; (c) guava plants reviled by caterpillars of T. arnobia, but without the permanence of the same ones in the plants, and plant without offense; (d) eucalyptus plants and guava reviled by caterpillars of T. arnobia, but without the permanence of the same ones in the plants; (e) eucalyptus plants and guava reviled by caterpillars of T. arnobia, with the permanence of the same ones in the plants. P. nigrispinus preferred guava plants reviled by caterpillars of T. arnobia with the permanence of the same ones in the plants. Additeonally, reviled plants, by caterpillars of T. arnobia, without the permanence of the same ones in the plants, they were favorite for the true bug, same when plants of the same species were compared in the tests. Plants without offense (clean) they also attracted the true bug, even so, the percentage of its recaptures in guava plants was larger than in eucalyptus plants. The results obtained in this work demonstrate that the predator P. nigrispinus besides discriminating among the scents liberated by species of native plants (guava) and eucalyptus, also discriminates volatile associated to the herbivory. The third stage evaluated the mortality of T. arnobia in field in guava plants and eucalyptus, and in laboratory, when the system of defense of the plant was induced. In field, the mortality was larger in the host guava (70.77%) than in the host eucalyptus (22.00%). In the laboratory test, for the evaluation of induced defense, leaves of clean eucalyptus plants were used (without having suffered any, kind of offense) and leaves of eucalyptus plants reviled by caterpillars of T. arnobia, to verify if plants of reviled eucalyptus activate its defense mechanism against the herbivory. The larval mortality was of 30.00% in plants reviled against 10.00% in clean plants. These results demonstrate that, when attacked by herbivores, the eucalyptus plants activate their defense mechanism, what affects the development of the herbivores negatively. In agreement with the results presented in that work, it is possible to conclude that, the guava plants are not an adequate host for the development and establishment of populations of T. arnobia (in spite of being one of its native host), due to direct chemical defenses (that act on the herbivore) or insinuations (that attract IN for herbivore predarem). On the other hand, T. arnobia comes, seemingly, developing, it self adapting and maintaining its populations in eucalyptus plantations. One way or another, the herbivores are getting to break the barriers of defense of the plants in eucalyptus, to the contrary with guava plants, where those herbivores have larger difficulty in settling down.

This study has presented a comprehensive historical overview of the context and significance of a, criminal defendants constitutional right to due process of law. The evidence suggests that, in many circumstances, a criminal defendant is not being afforded our most basic constitutional guarantee of fairness and justice for allOne of the primary objectives of this study was to develop a working definition for journalists to better understand the fundamental concepts of a defendants right to exculpatory evidence during criminal proceedings.Since 1791, the Supreme Court has had to continually broaden a criminal defendants right to exculpatory information. In case after case, a similar fad pattern has shown that pauper criminal defendants with court appointed attorneys having to compete against state or federal prosecutors with unlimited investigative and legal research funding This disparity is further compounded when the state or government prosecutors define to turn over information or evidence which could help the defendants case.Further analysis identified other problem areas within the scope of due process which deserve significant attention such as: the grand jury process, plea-bargains, probable cause warrants, and post-conviction hearings.

Proteines - developpement - defense de la baie. Nous avons montre la synthese de glucanases par le fruit (vitis vinifera l ;, cv. Chardonnay) des la veraison et au cours de la maturite. Au cours du stade de croissance herbacee des baies, la presence de chitinases et de glucanases constitutives n'a pas ete montree. En revanche, suite a une blessure ou a une elicitation chimique par l'acide salicylique, nous avons mis en evidence, a ce stade de developpement des fruits, l'induction d'arn messagers de beta-1,3-glucanases. Acide salicylique (as) et blessure - developpement - defense de la baie. Des elicitations par as au stade fermeture de la grappe conduisent a la formation d'une zone necrotique et, de plus, nous ont permis d'observer que la veraison et/ou la maturation des baies traitees est retardee, voire bloquee, c'est a dire que les baies restent vertes et dures ou vertes et molles, deux a trois semaines apres que les baies temoins aient verrees. Les tissus (pellicule et pulpe), des baies de chardonnay ou syrah elicitees par as avant veraison, presentent une necrose cellulaire qui se traduit par le developpement d'une zone de cellules necrosees de plusieurs millimetres autour de la partie traitee. Les baies temoins, dans lesquelles le tampon seul est injecte, ne presente pas de necrose autour des zones traitees. Des la veraison, les baies ramollies et encore vertes ne presentent plus de necrose cellulaire apres traitement par injection de as. Il en est de meme durant la phase de maturation des baies. Phenols - developpement - defense de la baie de raisin. Les flavanes-3-ols totaux (monomeres et oligopolymeres, proanthocyanidines) ont leur biosynthese qui augmentent au cours du stade de croissance herbacee, pour se stabiliser des la veraison. Les flavonols sont synthetises des le stade de croissance herbacee et augmentent apres la veraison. La blessure induit la biosynthese des flavonols au stade de croissance herbacee, dans les tissus sains situes autour de la blessure, et ne modifie pas la biosynthese des tanins. Le traitement par injection d'as nous a permis d'observer, dans la zone de cellules necrosees, une diminution des tanins et des flavonols et une augmentation du degre de polymerisation des tanins. Autour de la zone necrosee il y a induction des flavonols et des derives d'acide cafeique. Il n'y a pas de modification des tanins.

En premier lieu figure une etude du concept de defense nationale a la fois dans le cadre de l'etat de droit et de l'integration europeenne. Le noyau essentiel de cette etude porte fondamentalement sur le profil que presente la defense nationale, et plus particulierement les forces armees, a la suite de la transformation juridico-politique operee par la constitution de 1978. L'etude traite egalement avec minutie des competences des differents pouvoirs constitutionnels dans le domaine de la defense nationale et apporte de nouveaux eclaircissements sur les fonctions reservees au roi en tant que chef des forces armees espagnoles. Par ailleurs, elle aborde egalement le theme de l'alternative entre la nature institutionnelle et la nature administrative des forces armees. Finalement, prenant pour base le concept des forces armees en tant qu'administration, le travail analyse les specialites qui, dans leur conteste, sont constitutionnellement admissibles, comme c'est le cas pour la fonction publique militaire, le service militaire, le regime disciplinaire, pour terminer sur la juridiction militaire qui, bien qu'elle soit reconnue par la constitution espagnole, est pleinement integree dans le cadre d'un seul pouvoir judiciaire et regie selon les principes juridictionnels ordinaires

A presente dissertação objetiva verificar a possibilidade de utilização dos cartéis de exportação tendo em vista o ordenamento jurídico brasileiro. Para tanto, um importante corte metodológico foi realizado: somente questões relativas ao direito constitucional e ao direito concorrencial foram analisadas, deixando-se de lado aquelas que nos são trazidas pelo direito internacional e pela ciência econômica. O trabalho pode ser dividido em três grandes partes. A primeira cuida de justificar a escolha do tema cartéis de exportação. Para tanto, nos valemos da idéia de que as exportações são importante instrumento do qual se valem os Estados para equilibrar a sua atividade econômica e fomentar/financiar o seu desenvolvimento. A segunda parte cuida dos acordos entre concorrentes. Nesse passo, realizamos um pequeno estudo sobre as principais Escolas ideológicas que pretendem interpretar o direito antitruste e apontar a forma correta para a sua aplicação. Em seguida, cuidamos dos cartéis clássicos (os hard core cartels) e tratamos de diferenciá-los dos demais acordos entre concorrentes. É hora então de cuidarmos especificamente dos cartéis de exportação. Traremos as suas principais características, classificações e os benefícios e malefícios que são apontados pela doutrina. Bem definidos esses instrumentos, adentramos em um terreno bastante inóspito, que é o da forma pela qual os cartéis de exportação são encarados pelos Estados e pelas associações internacionais. Observaremos que, a despeito de serem utilizados por países como os Estados Unidos, existe uma tendência de que sejam tratados como condutas anticompetitivas, a semelhança dos cartéis clássicos. Uma das possíveis justificativas para isso seria a adoção generalizada dos conceitos da Escola de Chicago e das teorias econômicas neoclássicas. A principal crítica realizada por esses doutrinadores é a de que os cartéis de exportação são formas indevidas de atuação do Estado na economia que alteram as condições naturais de concorrência no mercado internacional. A última parte dessa dissertação está voltada para a inserção de toda a discussão promovida na moldura que nos é trazida pela Constituição Federal de 1988 e pela lei Antitruste brasileira (Lei 8884/1994). Para o texto constitucional, nosso enfoque será principalmente o dos artigos 3° (objetivos fundamentais da República Federativa do Brasil) e 170 (princípios gerais da atividade econômica). Com relação à lei antitruste, a discussão será voltada para a forma pela qual os cartéis de exportação são disciplinados por nossa lei.
The present essay aims to verify the possibility of using export cartels, considering the Brazilian Law system. For that, an important methodological cut has been done: only matters regarding constitutional law and anti-trust law have been analyzed, leaving apart those matters that are brought to us by the international law and economical science. It can be divided in three big parts. The first one handles the justification for the choice of the subject export cartels. For that, we make use of the idea that the exportations are an important instrument for the Countries to balance their economical activity and stimulate/finance their development. The second part deals with the agreements between competitors. At this pace, we made a small study about the main ideological stream, that intend to understand the antitrust law and identify the correct form for its application. Following that, we mention the classical cartels (the hard core cartels) and differentiate them from the other agreements between competitors. It is time then to handle the export cartels. We mention their main traits, classification, benefits and losses that are pointed by the doctrine. Being those instruments well defined, we enter and uninviting terrain, that is the way that the countries and International Associations face the export cartels. We observe that, despite being used by countries like United States, there is a tendency to treat it like uncompetitive behavior, resembling the classical cartels. One of the possible explanations for that would be the general adoption of the concepts brought by the Chicago stream and the neoclassical economical theories. The authors main critic is that the export cartels are inappropriate methods of Government intervention in the Economy that alters the natural conditions of the competition in the international market. The last part of such essay is dedicated to the insertion of all the discussion promoted in the patters that are brought to us by the Federal Constitution of 1988 and the Anti-trust Brazilian Law (Law 8884/1994). Regarding the constitutional text, our focus in mainly on the 3rd article (fundamental goals of the Brazilian Federal Republic), and the article 170 (general principles of the economical activity). Regarding the Anti-trust law, the discussion is facing the way that the export cartels are ruled by such area of our legal system.

The Federal Constitution of 1988, when taking care of the economical order, denotes special concern in the abuses of the economical power and the disloyal competition. The mark to mediate of all this is, in fact, the defense and the consumer's protection, once this is final addressee of whatever if it puts at the consumption market. The coming of the Law 8.078/90, Code of Protection and Defense of the Consumer, inaugurates a time of effective concern with the homogeneous individual interests originating from of the consumption relationships. In this point, the focus of main to face of the present work lives, in other words, the protection of the right to the individual property, especially manifests in the exercise of the trade freedom that keeps direct relationship with the respective social function the one that is destined. The code of the consumer's defense doesn't just take care of this, but also of the other star of the relationships of the consumption. When affirming in the interruption VI of the art. 4th that the national politics of those relationships, finds ballast in the prohibition and repression efficient of all of the abuses committed in the consumption relationships, keeping inherent relationship-causality in the economical order, sculpted for the article 170 in the Constitution of 1988. In the generic plan, the mark of the present work is to question concerning the limits of the trade freedom and previsible collisions with protection norms and the consumer's defense, as well as factual convergences of those small systems, especially in what he/she refers to the innate interests to the suppliers. In the specific plan, we aspirated to identify the protection device-commands to the actors of the trade relationship, capable to guarantee the free competition in a global economy of market, seeking especially the Well-being, for soon afterwards, in an analytical perspective, to discover the possible applications that it holds the Federal Constitution, in headquarters of economical freedoms. It was observed that the consumer today doesn't need only of laws that their needs, fruit of the vulnerability that it is him/her meditate innate. He/she lacks, yes, of effective mechanisms that prevent lesions that can be them impinged by the suppliers at the time in that you/they are useful to repair the damages when happened, punishing the author of the damage
A Constitui??o Federal de 1988, ao cuidar da ordem econ?mica, denota especial preocupa??o em coibir os abusos do poder econ?mico e a concorr?ncia desleal. O escopo mediato de tudo isso ?, de fato, a defesa e prote??o do consumidor, uma vez que este ? destinat?rio final de tudo quanto se p?e no mercado de consumo. O advento da Lei 8.078/90, C?digo de Prote??o e Defesa do Consumidor, inaugura um tempo de efetiva preocupa??o com os interesses individuais homog?neos oriundos das rela??es de consumo. Neste ponto, reside o foco de enfrentamento principal do presente trabalho, ou seja, a prote??o do direito ? propriedade individual, manifesta especialmente no exerc?cio da liberdade de com?rcio que guarda rela??o direta com a respectiva fun??o social a que se destina. Ao afirmar no inciso VI do art. 4? que a pol?tica nacional dessas rela??es, encontra lastro na proibi??o e repress?o eficientes de todos os abusos cometidos nas rela??es de consumo, guardando intr?nseca rela??o-causalidade na ordem econ?mica, insculpida pelo artigo 170 na Constitui??o de 1988. No plano gen?rico, o escopo do presente trabalho ? perquirir acerca dos limites da liberdade de com?rcio e previs?veis colis?es com normas de prote??o e defesa do consumidor, bem como factuais converg?ncias desses microssistemas, especialmente no que se refere aos interesses inerentes aos fornecedores. No plano espec?fico, aspiramos identificar os dispositivos-comandos de prote??o aos atores da rela??o de com?rcio, capazes de garantir a livre concorr?ncia em uma economia global de mercado, visando primordialmente o Bem-Estar, para em seguida, numa perspectiva anal?tica, averiguar as poss?veis aplica??es que comporta a Constitui??o Federal, em sede de liberdades econ?micas. Observou-se que o consumidor hoje n?o precisa s? de leis que contemplem suas necessidades, fruto da vulnerabilidade que lhe ? inata.

A questão central da pesquisa é analisar o Movimento Social que, durante o processo constituinte de 1988, forjou de um novo conceito de infância e propôs novas práticas sociais em relação à criança e ao adolescente no Brasil presentes nos artigos 227 e 228 da Carta Magna. Trata-se de pesquisa de natureza qualitativa na qual trabalhamos com análise dos documentos relativos à questão da infância e da juventude encaminhados para a Subcomissão da Família, do Menor e do Idoso. Foram eles: (i) Sugestões encaminhadas por Entidades Representativas da Sociedade, (ii) as Emendas Populares e (iii) Audiências Públicas. O estudo dos textos evidenciou a urgência de uma ruptura com as práticas sociais existentes. Havia, na fala dos novos atores sociais, consenso em relação à garantia de direitos de crianças e adolescentes influenciados pelos argumentos da Declaração Universal dos Direitos da Criança de 1959. Ressaltamos a participação da Comissão Nacional Criança e Adolescente na discussão e organização das propostas e sugestões encaminhadas ao Congresso Nacional. Foi possível investigar a influente participação da Igreja neste processo e o debate em torno da FUNABEM. A pesquisa contribuiu para o entendimento da participação popular como instrumento de pressão na formação do campo da criança e do adolescente durante o processo Constituinte.
This is an investigation that in the Line of Research of Infancy, Youth and Education of the Program of Post-Graduation in Education of the State University of Rio De Janeiro. The central question of research is to analyze the Social Movement that, during the constituent process of 1988, forged a new concept of infancy and considered new social practices in relation to the child and the adolescent in Brazil included in articles 227 and 228 of the Constitution. This research is of qualitative nature and deal with analysis of documents related to the question of the infancy and of youth directed to the Subcommission of the Family, the Minor and the Senior Citizens. Those were: (i) Suggestions sent to Representative Entities of Society, (ii) the Popular Emendations and (iii) Audiences. The study of texts evidenced the social practical urgency of a rupture with the existing ones. There is, according to new social actors, consensus in relation to the guarantee of rights of children and adolescents influenced by the arguments of Universal declaration of the Rights of the Child of 1959. We stand out participation of the National Commission Child and Adolescent in discussions and organization of the proposals and suggestions directed to the National Congress. It was possible to investigate the influential participation of the Church in this process and debate around the FUNABEM. The research contributed for the agreement of popular participation as instrument of pressure in the formation of the field of child and of the adolescent in the Constituent process.

Esta dissertação tem por objetivo analisar os institutos da decisão monocrática e do agravo interno, sob o prisma de metodologia empírica que busca priorizar a realidade pragmática da aplicação do artigo 557 do Código de Processo Civil. Enfocou-se o instituto da decisão monocrática no contexto das minirreformas processuais brasileiras, que tiveram como alicerce o princípio da efetividade processual. Esse princípio pressupõe a duração razoável do processo, garantida na Constituição Federal Brasileira. A partir da constitucionalidade desse princípio, defendeu-se a constitucionalidade do artigo 557 do Código de Processo Civil, que não pode ser considerado abstratamente inconstitucional. Demonstrou-se que a aplicabilidade do artigo 557 pode ser inconstitucional se não atender à técnica da ponderação de valores, que garante a interpretação conforme a Constituição. Analisou-se o agravo interno, sob a premissa do valor da celeridade em cotejo com o devido processo legal, que permeou a subsequente análise do procedimento desta espécie de agravo. Após uma reflexão sobre os institutos da decisão monocrática e do agravo interno, aliada ao exame dos princípios do devido processo legal, ampla defesa, contraditório e motivação das decisões judiciais, passou-se ao exame empírico desses institutos jurídicos. Nessa análise, foram coletados e examinados dados estatísticos, que confirmaram – e, assim, possibilitaram a conclusão da dissertação – a constitucionalidade do artigo 557 e a importância de sua interpretação conforme os referidos princípios constitucionais.
This dissertation has the purpose to analise the institutes of the single verdict and the internal appeal, according to empirical methodology that focus the pragmatic reality of the 557 th. dispositive of Code of Civil Procedure`s enforcement. This dissertation focused the institute of the single verdict in the context of the reformation of the Brazilian Code of Civil Procedure, which had as foundation the principle of procedure efectiveness. This principle presupposes a reasonable duration of the suit, secured by the Brazilian Federal Constitution. From the constitutionality of this principal, this dissertation defended the constitutionality of the 557 th. dispositive of Code of Civil Procedure, which can`t be considered abstractedly unconstitutional. This dissertation proved that the enforcement of the 557 th. dispositive could be unconstitutional if doesn`t suit the technique of the weighing of values, which secures the interpretation according to the Brazilian Federal Constitution. This dissertation analised the internal appeal, under the presupposition of the value of the reasonable duration of the suit in comparison with the due process of law, which motivate the following analysis of the internal appeal proceeding. After a reflection of single verdict and the internal appeal institutes, also with the analysis of due process of law, legal defense, adversary system and the motivation of the judgement, this dissertation analised the empirical enforcement of these institutes. In this analysis, estatistic data have been collected, which corroborate – and, therefore, enabled the conclusion of the dissertation – the constitutionality of the 557 th. dispositive of Code of Civil Procedure and the consideration of its interpretation according to the mentioned constitucional principles.

Title of Thesis:The Right of Self-Defence in the Total page:159 Costitution of Japan. Name of Institute: Graduate Institute of Japanese,Tau.kang Wnivesity Gnaduate Date: June,1997 Degree Conferred: Master Name of Student:Tseng,Tsung-Weu Advisor:Dr.Chang Shui-Liang Abstract: The Provision ofAticle 9 in the Constitution of Japan that mentioned:The Japanese people foreverrenownce war as a soverign sight of the nation and the threat or use of forceas means of setting intenuational disputes. Iand,sea and air forces,as well asother war potential,will never be mantained. The night of belligerency of the state will not be recogniged. This clause really reflected the pacifisticspisit of Japanese people after the end of the Second World War.The renunciationof war clause was regarded as a becaues of characteistic of the Japanese costitution. However, the Korean War broke our and the rise of internationalommunism,Japan took the so-called "re- armanent"action, them the Self-Defence Forces was established. Nowadays the SDF become one of the strongest military powers in the world. Obviously,there was an inconsistencywhich existed between the clause of Article 9 and the SDF. This kind of contradictory relationship often brougt about the constitutional disputes ever since the constitution was enacted. Although the SDF''s existence has become an established fact, there has been much contioversy sourrouding Asticle 9. The government maintains the in terpretation that defensive wars which exercise the right of self-dfence, are not prohibited. Japan, as a sovereign state, has a right of self-defence, according to the regulations of international law, especially under the definition of Article 51 in the Charter of the United Nations. And the maintence of SDF is recognized because they have only defensive missions and abilities.The government found it resona able for the SDF to prosses a capability limited to the duties of protectiog the integrity of the nation''s sea, air and land; therefore, the SDF is constitional in interprestion. On the other hand, the opposition parties insisted that the SDF is unconstitutional. As has been noted, the right of self-defence played an important role in buiting Japan security system. On account of this the purpose of this paper is trying to find out the meaning of self-defence right and to under stand the contradictory phenomenon within the constitution Finally, thestudy found out that Japan had the right of self-defence even the country had a "constitution. But it was difficult to regard the SDF as coristitutional. The clause of Acticle 9 needs to be changed in the future for the use of collective self-defence right.

The white pine weevil, Pissodes strobi, is a major pest of regenerating spruce in British Columbia, and the damage caused by weevil attack results in a severe reduction in plantation productivity and wood quality. As a result, the planting of Sitka spruce, except in a small portion of its range, is no longer recommended in B.C. Control attempts have met with little success; however, it is believed that host resistance will be an essential part of an effective Integrated Pest Management plan for the weevil. My objective was to examine the induced resin response and the constitutive resin canal system of Sitka spruce to identify potential resistance mechanisms and to determine how those mechanisms were affected by seasonal growth and development of the tree. Histological examination of cross-sections of laterals taken at different times during the season were used to compare the extent of components of the constitutive resin canal system between resistant and susceptible families of Sitka spruce. Similar methods were used to compare the capacity of resistant and susceptible trees to produce a traumatic resin response. Weekly measurements of leader apical bud phenology and radial growth were used to determine if differences in leader growth and development existed between resistant and susceptible trees which could affect resin canal density in the leader. Artificial wounding of tree leaders at different times of the season and at different densities of wounding was used to determine if there was a seasonal effect on the production of traumatic resin and if the response level was related to the wounding level. Compared to susceptible trees, resistant trees tended to have larger inner resin canals and thinner bark, and thus, a greater percentage of bark occupied by inner resin canals. Furthermore, both resistant and susceptible trees showed an increase in resin canal size and a decrease in resin canal density through the season. The level of the traumatic response produced by artificially wounded trees was significantly higher in resistant trees than in susceptible trees and was also found to be highest in early flushing trees. No difference in rate of leader radial growth was observed between resistant and susceptible trees, but buds on resistant trees flushed earlier than those on susceptible trees. The traumatic response was found to be lowest in trees wounded early in the season, and was also found to increase in a density dependent manner with the wounding level. Although several traits were present to a greater degree in resistant trees than susceptible trees, no single trait was emphasized in every resistant individual, suggesting that effective resistance is based on a combination of traits. Furthermore, the variability of these traits through the season reinforces the importance of host-insect phenology in the success or failure of an attack.

This dissertation is about an analysis of Habeas Corpus in Portugal. This mechanism constitutes the only extraordinary specific guarantee constitutionally foreseen to defend fundamental rights.The analysis focuses on it's emergence and it's contours to the present day. To this end, an investigation has been carried out to understand how the right to freedom has been envisioned over the last few centuries. It is true that in order to carry out an analysis of the legal nature of this mechanism, it is necessary to take into account it's historical-systematic context, examining the ratio of the law, since the concept of "freedom" is no longer the same from the moment of the creation of Habeas Corpus.The constitutionally foreseen mechanism of Habeas Corpus has been the subject of several divergences, both doctrinal and jurisprudential. It is therefore important to disentangle these disputes by examining the legitimacy of Habeas Corpus's application for a court order, including the possibility of extending the scope of the provision, in particular the creation of a preventive Habeas Corpus, preventing imminent situations of deprivation of freedom, deprivation wich is done in a framework of abuse of power or gross application of the law.Finally, It should be noted that this is an urgent and expeditious procedure, which is not balanced with delays, it should be pointed out that it is necessary to act swiftly on the part of the competent authorities so that the "clash" between "freedom" and "authority" is as smooth as possible. In order to do so, we analyzed the various time frames involved in this mechanism, including the problem of security measures, which in theory allows a perpetual imprisonment.
A presente dissertação versa sobre uma análise ao Habeas Corpus em Portugal. Este mecanismo configura-se como a única garantia específica extraordinária constitucionalmente prevista para a defesa de direitos fundamentais. A análise incide sobre o seu surgimento e os seus contornos até os dias de hoje. Para isso, foi levado a cabo uma investigação de forma a perceber como o direito à liberdade tem sido encarado ao longo dos últimos séculos. É certo que para ser levada a cabo uma análise à natureza jurídica deste mecanismo, é necessário ter em conta o seu contexto histórico-sistemático, examinando a ratio da lei, dado que o conceito de "liberdade" já não é o mesmo desde o momento de criação do Habeas Corpus. O mecanismo constitucionalmente previsto do Habeas Corpus tem sido alvo de várias divergências, tanto doutrinais como jurisprudenciais. Assim, importa-nos deslindar essas controvérsias, analisando desde a legitimidade do pedido de providência de Habeas Corpus até à possibilidade de ampliar o âmbito de aplicação da norma, nomeadamente a criação de um Habeas Corpus preventivo, impedindo que, em situações iminentes de privação de liberdade, essa privação seja feita num quadro de abuso de poder ou de aplicação grosseira da lei.Por fim, tratando-se de um procedimento urgente e de tramitação célere, que não se compactua com atrasos, é de salientar que se mostra necessário uma atuação rápida por parte das entidades competentes de forma a que o "choque" entre "liberdade" e "autoridade" seja o mais suave possível. Para tal, foram analisados os vários prazos envolventes neste mecanismo, passando inclusive pela problemática das medidas de segurança, que teoricamente permitem uma privação de liberdade perpétua.

The South African legal system is dualistic in nature with the one part consisting of the Western common law and the other consisting of African customary law. Although these two legal systems enjoy equal recognition, they regularly come into conflict with each other due to their divergent value systems. It is especially within the context of the South African criminal law that this conflict becomes apparent, because an accused's conduct can be viewed as lawful in terms of African customary law, but unlawful in terms of the South African common law. In such cases the accused may attempt to raise a cultural defence by putting forth evidence of his cultural background or values to convince the court that his prima facie unlawful conduct is actually lawful and that he should escape criminal liability. Alternatively, an accused may put forth evidence of his cultural background or values in an attempt to receive a lighter sentence. The question which therefore arises is whether a so-called "cultural defence" exists in the South African criminal law, and if so, what the influence of such a defence on the South African criminal law is. The conflict between African Customary law and the South African common law in the context of the criminal law arises due to the fact that the indigenous belief in witchcraft, (including witch-killings), the indigenous belief in the tokoloshe and the use of muti-medicine (including muti-murders), as well as the phenomenon of "necklacing" and the custom of ukuthwala can result in the commission of various common law crimes. In the case of witch-killings, the perpetrators can be charged with the common law crimes of murder or, if the victim survives, attempted murder, common assault or assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. Similarly, necklacing, as a method used for killing witches, can also result in the commission of these common law crimes. What is more, the perpetrators of witch-killings can also be charged with the statutory crimes of accusing someone of witchcraft, pointing the victim out as being a witch or wizard or injuring a person based on information received from a traditional healer, or similar person. The indigenous belief in the tokoloshe can lead to the commission of the common law crimes of murder or, if the victim survives, common assault or assault with intent to do grievous bodily harm. The perpetrators of mutimurders can also face charges of murder or attempted murder, if the victim survives. The indigenous custom of ukuthwala can result in the commission of common law crimes such as abduction, kidnapping and common assault, as well as the statutory crime of rape. A perusal of South African case law dealing with the indigenous beliefs and customs above reveals that the accused in such cases have indeed attempted to put forth evidence of their indigenous beliefs or customs to persuade the criminal courts that they should escape criminal liability for a particular crime. In fact, these arguments were raised within the context of the existing common law defences such as private defence, necessity, involuntary conduct and a lack of criminal capacity. However, the South African criminal courts have up till now in general been unwilling to accept arguments of indigenous beliefs and customs to serve as a defence, either alone or within the context of the existing defences above, for the commission of a common law or statutory crime. They have, however, been more willing to accept evidence of an accused's indigenous belief or custom to serve as a mitigating factor during sentencing. The extent to which an accused's cultural background will serve as a mitigating factor will, of course, depend on the facts and circumstances of each case. As a result an accused who is charged with the commission of a culturally motivated crime has no guarantee that his cultural background and values will in fact be considered as a mitigating factor during his criminal trial. It is thus ultimately concluded that a so-called "cultural defence" does not exist in the South African Criminal law. The indigenous beliefs and customs above not only result in the commission of common law or statutory crimes, but also in the infringement of various fundamental human rights in the Constitution. Witch-killings result in the infringement of the constitutional right to life and the right to freedom and security of the person. However, witches and wizards who are persecuted for practising witchcraft are also denied their right to a fair trial entrenched in the Constitution. Similarly, muti-murders and necklacing also result in the infringement of the right to life and the right to freedom and security of the person entrenched in the Constitution. The custom of ukuthwala results in the infringement of the right to equality, the right to freedom and security of the person, the right to live in an environment that is not harmful to health or well-being, the right not to be subjected to slavery, servitude or forced labour, the right to basic education and other constitutional safeguards aimed at protecting children. In light of the constitutional right to freedom of culture and the right to freely participate in a cultural life of one's choosing the question can be asked whether the time has come to formally recognise a cultural defence in the South African criminal law. In this study it is argued that these constitutional rights do not warrant the formal recognition of a cultural defence. Instead, it is recommended that the conflict between African customary law and the South African common law can be resolved by bringing indigenous beliefs and customs in line with the values that underpin the Constitution as the supreme law of South Africa. Of course, this does not mean that the courts should ignore cultural considerations during a criminal trial if and when they arise. In fact, as pointed out in this study, the courts have a constitutional duty to apply African customary law when that law is applicable. It goes without saying that, when an accused attempts to escape criminal liability for his unlawful conduct by raising arguments of his cultural background, African customary law will be applicable and must be considered by the court. This in turn raises the question as to how the criminal courts can ensure that they give enough consideration to the possibility that an accused's criminal conduct was culturally motivated so as to comply with their constitutional mandate referred to above. Although it would be nearly impossible to formulate a perfect or flawless approach according to which a judicial officer can adjudicate criminal matters involving culturally motivated crimes, the author suggests the following practical approach which may provide some guidance to judicial officers in dealing with cases involving culturally motivated crimes: • Step 1: Consider whether the commission of the crime was culturally motivated or not. If it seems as though the accused did not commit a culturally motivated crime, the trial can continue on that basis. If, however, it is evident that the accused indeed committed a culturally motivated crime, step 2 follows. • Step 2: Once it has been determined that the commission of the crime was culturally motivated, the next step is to determine which indigenous belief or custom led to the commission of the crime. Once the relevant indigenous belief or custom has been identified, step 3 follows. • Step 3: When it is clear which indigenous belief or custom led to the accused's commission of the crime, the next step is to determine whether arguments pertaining to that particular indigenous belief or custom may be raised within the context of the existing defences in the South African Criminal law in order to exclude the accused's criminal liability. If an accused relies on one of the existing defences in the South African criminal law, he will have to lay a proper evidential foundation for his defence before the court. In assessing the evidence put forth by the accused, the judicial officer must consider the judgment and reasoning in previous cases dealing with the particular indigenous belief or custom. A judicial officer must also consider the values underpinning the Constitution when conducting such an assessment. If a judicial officer upholds an accused's defence, the accused is acquitted. However, if the judicial officer rejects an accused's defence, the accused must be convicted and step 4 follows. • Step 4: Once an accused has been convicted, a court should consider whether arguments of his cultural background can serve as an extenuating circumstance, mitigating the punishment to be imposed on him. However, the practical approach above merely serves as a suggestion to judicial officers in dealing with culturally motivated crimes and ultimately it will be up to the judiciary to develop both the Western common law and African customary law to resolve the criminal law conflicts between these two legal systems. The research for this study was concluded in November 2013.

This thesis reports research carried out in the scope of (in)security in a general sense. The general objective of the investigation was to analyze the norm described in the caput of article 144 of the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil, of 1988 in order to understand the legal meaning of the expression responsibility of all in the context of public security and propose measures that allow citizens to involve with public safety. The research had as partial objectives, among others: to explain in what consists the fundamental right to security and freedom in the State of Democratic Right; defend the thesis that “public security is the legal responsibility of everyone in the State of Democratic Right”; defend, from constitutional and legal norms, doctrinal teachings and a concrete case occurred in Brazil, the thesis that “public security is a fundamental right, a real conditio sine qua non to the exercise of rights”; demonstrate how public security and defense relate to national security and defense and defend the thesis that “security and defense are UNAS duties of the State” and to know the norms that deal with security and defense in the Constitutions of Portuguese-speaking countries. The research was far-reaching in regard to the fundamental right to security and freedom in the face of the current “world risk society” arising from cultural, ethical, social, economic and political changes brought about by globalization. The study that gave rise to this thesis was done through bibliographical, documentary and field research, the data collected in doctrinal books, in the 1988 Brazilian Constitution, in the Constitution of the Portuguese Republic, in the 1976, in the Constitutions of the other Portuguese-speaking States , in diverse laws, in Theses, scientific articles and other texts on the subject, printed and digitized, as well as in interviews with renowned Lusitanian Constitutionalists.
Esta Tese relata pesquisa realizada no âmbito da (in)segurança em sentido geral. O objetivo geral da investigação foi analisar a norma descrita no caput do artigo 144 da Constituição da República Federativa do Brasil, de 1988 a fim de se compreender o sentido jurídico da expressão responsabilidade de todos no contexto da segurança pública e propor medidas que possibilitem envolver o cidadão com a segurança pública. A pesquisa teve como objetivos parcelares, dentre outros: explicar em que consiste o direito fundamental à segurança e à liberdade no Estado de Direito Democrático; defender a tese de que “a segurança pública é responsabilidade jurídica de todos no Estado de Direito Democrático”; sustentar e defender, a partir de normas constitucionais e legais, de ensinamentos doutrinários e de um caso concreto ocorrido no Brasil, a tese de que “a segurança pública é um superdireito fundamental, verdadeira conditio sine qua non ao exercício de direitos”; demostrar como segurança e defesa públicas se relacionam com segurança e defesa nacionais e defender a tese de que “segurança e defesa são deveres-funções UNAS do Estado” e conhecer as normas que versam sobre segurança e defesa nas Constituições dos países de língua portuguesa. A pesquisa foi minudente no tocante ao direito fundamental à segurança e à liberdade em face da atual “sociedade de risco mundial” decorrente de alterações culturais, éticas, sociais, econômicas e políticas provocadas pela globalização. O estudo que deu lugar a esta Tese foi realizado através de pesquisas bibliográfica, documental e de campo, sendo os dados coletados em livros doutrinários, na Constituição do Brasil de 1988, na Constituição da República Portuguesa, de 1976, nas Constituições dos outros Estados lusófonos, em leis diversas, em Teses, artigos científicos e noutros textos sobre o tema, impressos e digitalizados, bem como em entrevistas realizadas com renomados Constitucionalistas lusitanos.

The purpose of this research study was to offer a critical analysis of the crime prevention role of the MPD in the SANDF. A recent development in SA where military personnel are deployed to quell acts of violence and xenophobic attacks, makes this requisite and pertinent research. A qualitative research method was adopted, which goes well with the pragmatist worldview. A pragmatist worldview affords researchers the flexibility to choose the type of technique, method and procedures to be utilised in the research study. A literature review was conducted, followed by interviews with members of the MPD. The researcher interviewed a total of 23 members from the MPD. These members were chosen based on their experience and knowledge as military police officials. The data received from participants was analysed using a computer software programme called Atlas.ti. The findings of this research study revealed that crime prevention in SA is the responsibility of the SAPS, not the SANDF. The defence force can be deployed as a last resort in extreme cases when the SAPS are not able to contain the situation. Members of the defence force are not trained to deal with matters of maintenance of law and order. However, the defence force has its own crime fighting component in the form of the MPD, which can perform policing functions anywhere and at any time as long as it is aimed at enforcing the Defence Act (Act 42 of 2002). The conclusion reached by this research study is that MPD members must be capacitated in terms of both human resources and training so that they are able to deal effectively with crime within the SANDF. In an effort to address crime within the SANDF, the study proposes a model that supports the interaction between various role players in crime prevention.
Injongo yalolu cwaningo ukuhlolisisa nokuhlaziya igunya namandla okuvikela ubugebengu embuthweni wezokuvikela wase Ningizimu Afrika. Lolu cwaningo lusungulwe ngokubonakala kwentuthuko yakamuva ezenzweni zobugebengu eNingizimu Afrika lapho amalunga amasosha ethu agcina esefakwe emsebenzini wokuqeda udlame kanye nokuvikela kokuhlaselwa kwabokufika. I qualitative method indlela ucwaningo oluqhutshwa ngayo emhlabeni wonke olubheka ingqikithi nomsusa wesenzo lesi esisuke senzekile futhi kutholakele ukuthi loluhlobo lokucwaninga lusebenza kahle kakhulu. Ukwenza ucwaningo ngokuzikhandla kanye nokukhululeka kwenza abacwaningi basebenzise ubuhlakani babo kanye nezindlela ezingcono zokucwaninga, futhi zenza ukufunda ngocwaningo kuhambe kahle. Umcwaningi wabuyekeza izincwadi ezazisetshenzisiwe ngaphambilini waphinde wakhulumisana namalunga angamashumi amabili nantathu amaphoyisa wezokuvikela kwezwe phecelezi Military Police Division. Lamalunga akhethwa ngokuba ngomakade ebona futhi nangokuba mkantshubomvu kulomsebenzi wobuphoyisa embuthweni wezempi. Ubuciko bukangcondomshini obuthiwa yi-Atlas.ti buye basetshenziswa ukuhlunga kabanzi yonke imininingwane eye yatholakala kulamalunga. Okutholakele kulolu cwaningo kukhombisa ukuthi umsebenzi wokuvimbela ubulelesi ukuthi kungenzeki kungumsebenzi wamaphoyisa aseNingizimu Afrika (SAPS) kuphela, akuwona umsebenzi wombutho wezokuvikela. Umbutho wezokuvikela ungatshalwa kuphela njengendlela yokugcina ezimweni ezibucayi lapho khona amaphoyisa aseNingizimu Afrika engakwazi ukulungisa noma ukumelana nesimo. Ngaphezu kwalokho, amalungu ombutho wezokuvikela aweqeqeshelwe ukulwa nobugebengu. Umbutho wezokuvikela unebutho eliqeqeshelwe ukulwa ubugebengu kanye nokwephulwa komthetho lelo butho amaphoyisa wombutho wezokuvikela phecelezi Military Police Division. Isiphetho salolu cwaningo ukuthi amaphoyisa ombutho wezokuvikela kufanele anikezwe zonke izinsiza ezifanele aphinde aceceshwe kanzulu ukuze akwazi ukumelana kanye nokuceda ubugebengu embuthweni wezokivikela. Ukuze kubhekwe ubugebengu ngaphakathi kwi SANDF, umfuziselo olwatuswa olusekela ukusebenzisana phakathi kwabo bonke ababambe iqhaza ezinhlakeni ezahlukene ekuvimbeleni ubugebengu.
Injongo yolu phando kukunikezela ngohlalutyo oluntsonkothileyo ngendima yeMPD kwi SANDF, yokuthintela ulwaphulo-mthetho. Iziganeko zakutsha nje eMzantsi Afrika, apho kuye kwafuneka ukuba abasebenzi bomkhosi wokhuselo bathunyelwe ukuya kunqanda izenzo zobundlobongela nokuhlaselwa kwabemi bangaphandle, zenza ukuba olu ibe luphando olunyanzelekileyo nolubalulekileyo. Indlela yophando ngokwexabiso isetyenzisiwe, iyeyona ihambelana kakuhle nendlela ebona ngeliso elibanzi kwilizwe jikelele. Indlela ebona ngeliso elibanzi kwilizwe jikelele yeyona inika abaphandi inkululeko yokukhetha ubuchule, umgaqo kunye nenkqubo enokusetyenziswa kuphando olo. Uhlalutyo lwemibhalo luye lwenziwa, kwalandela udliwano ndlebe namalungu eMPD. Umphandi wenze udliwano-ndlebe namalungu eMPD angama-23 ewonke. La malungu akhethwe ngenxa yamava kunye nolwazi analo njengabasebenzi bomkhosi wezokhuselo. Iinkcukacha ezifumaneke kwabo bathathe inxaxheba ziye zahlalutywa kusetyenziswa ubuchwepheshe bekhompyutha obubizwa ngokuba yi-Atlas.ti. Ulwazi olufumaneke kolu phando lubonise ukuba ukunqandwa kolwaphulo mthetho eMzantsi Afrika luxanduva lweSAPS, hayi olweSANDF. Igqiza lomkhosi wokhuselo linakho ukuthunyelwa ngondancama xa kukho iimeko eziqatseleyo, xa i-SAPS isoyiswa kukumelana nesimo. Amalungu womkhosi wokhuselo awakuqeqeshelwanga ukujongana neemeko zokugcinwa komthetho. Nangona kunjalo, amalungu womkhosi wokhuselo analo icandelo lokulwa ulwaphulo-mthetho eliyi-MPD, elelona candelo elikwaziyo ukwenza umsebenzi wesipolisa naphina kwaye nanini na ekubeni nje inyanzelisa umthetho obizwangokuba yi-Defence Act (Umthetho wama- 42 wonyaka wama-2002).

The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 200 of 1993 that took effect from 27 April 1994, gave an accused a constitutional right to legal representation. Although the right of an accused to be legally represented formed an integral part of the South African Law, the Constitution gave him the further right ofbeing provided with legal representation at the cost of the State . For the practical implementation ofthe Constitution extensive changes to the current Legal Aid Scheme are essential . This work is an investigation of the justification of an accused's right to legal representation and the right to be provided with legal representation at the expense of the State . The practical implementation of the Constitution is discussed and suggestions are made that might be a solution to the current problem of the provision of legal aid at the State's expense.
Die Grondwet van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika 200 van 1993 wat op 27 April 1994 in werking getree het, het konstitusionele erkenning verleen aan 'n beskuldigde se reg op regsverteenwoordiging . Alhoewel die reg van 'n beskuldigde tot regsverteenwoordiging inherent deel van die Suid-Afrikaanse reg was het die Grondwet verder gegaan en 'n beskuldigde die reg gegee om op staatskoste van regsverteenwoordiging voorsien te word . Om die Grondwet prakties uitvoerbaar te maak sal ingrypende veranderings aan die huidige Regshulpskema noodsaaklik wees . Hierdie werk behels 'n regshistoriese - en regsvergelykende studie van die reg van 'n beskuldigde tot regsverteenwoordiging en die reg om op staatskoste van regshulp voorsien te word . Die praktiese uitvoerbaarheid van die Grondwet word bespreek en voorstelle word aan die hand gedoen om die huidige situasie, wat betref die verskaffing van regshulp op staatskoste, te verbeter .

Water has been used for military purposes in the past and still continues today, i.e. poisoning of enemy water, attacking enemy water installations, etc. This conduct denies access to water, affects the supply of water, health, supply of electricity, etc. Public international law, such as treaties (e.g. The 1949 Geneva Conventions), customary international law, etc, regulate the protection of water during armed conflict. Chapter I of the dissertation analizes the public international law ire the abovementioned. The application of public inteniational law, depends on the municipal law of the state concerned. This municipal law is, in the case of South Africa, found in the 1996 Constitution. The 1996 Constitution contains specific provisions regarding inter alia the legal obligations of the South African security services, the legal status of international agreements, as well as the application of customary international law and international law. Chapter II of the dissertation analizes the abovementioned wrt the legal obligations of the SA National Defence Force ire the subject matter.

The additional tax ("penalties") imposable in terms of section 76(1) of the Income Tax Act (No 58 of 1962) when a taxpayer is in default, can be very harsh (up to 200% of the tax properly chargeable). The Commissioner may, in terms of section 76(2)(a), remit any penalty imposed, as he sees fit. However, when there was intent on the part of the taxpayer to evade the payment of tax, the Commissioner may not remit any portion of the 200% penalty imposable, unless he is of the opinion that "extenuating circumstances" exist. This dissertation examines the meaning of "extenuating circumstances", as interpreted by the judiciary, and lists the factors and defences that a taxpayer may plead to justify a remission of penalties, both in the case of an intention by the taxpayer to evade tax and in cases where the taxpayer is merely in default of section 76(1).

Alhoewel die Grondwet van die Republiek van Suid-Afrika die bestaande reg op regsverteenwoordiging uitgebrei het tot sy logiese eindpunt, is daar geen vaste inhoud aan hierdie reg gegee nie en sal die howe die omvang daarvan moet ontwikkel. Hierdie reg kan weens die heersende sosiale en ekonomiese omstandighede nie 'n absolute reg wees nie. Indien 'n beskuldigde nie 'n regsverteenwoordiger kan bekostig nie, sal een op staatsonkoste aan horn verskaf word, maar slegs indien Although the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa has extended the existing right to legal representation to its logical conclusion, no definitive substance has been given to this right and the courts will have to develop the purview thereof. This right cannot be an absolute right because of ruling social and economic circumstances. Should an accused not be able to afford a legal representative, one will be supplied to him at state expense, but only if substantial injustice would otherwise result. In such an event the accused is not entitled to a legal representative of his choice. Effective legal representation is also not guaranteed. There is therefore still not compliance with the sine qua non of a comprehensive criminal justice system as has developed over time in the United States of America, that is the provision of free legal representation to every indigent person accused of a serious crime
